Oh, my. This is just wonderful. Lovely and malty with hints of cocoa. Strong and very smooth. A perfect tea to be snowed in with today.

Both glad and dismayed that I asked for this as my free sample. Glad because it can easily become a staple. Dismayed because it should easily become a staple. :)

Next up for today’s adventure in lots of tea since I can’t go anywhere is the regular Royal Yunnan from NM Tea. Try it in comparison to this one and see if I can tell a difference and if so, what one I’ll like better. I really need to spring for the gift tins from NM Tea on my next order. I love so much of their label artwork.

Off to shovel snow since we have a break in the storm for a few hours. Maybe I can get a path to the car and get the drive done in front of the car before it piles on more this evening. Then I’ll really want hot tea!!

Preparation

Hard to tell with all the drifting. News is saying 8 inches at the airport, I think, and we are about 10 miles south of that. Drifts were past my knees 2 hours ago. So at least 6 and I’m guessing significantly more. I’ll take 6 inches of snow over 2 inches of sleet. Sleet is just nasty. Though apparently the mayor has declared a state of emergency and they just can’t get things cleared. Tons of roads closed and the news was full of pictures of people just stopped on the highway and off the shoulders.
